I'm sure there are lots of reasons for kidney failure, however, one seldom thought of one ... and one that should be considered as a primary cause of renal failure, in my opinion, is exposure to 2-butoxyethanol: damages the blood, and blood forming organs, Kidneys and Liver ... per information on the Material Safety Data Sheets that explain what EGBE does.
Did you know that the kidneys send a hormone to the bone morrow to help make red blood cells? And that the kidneys are needed to make strong bones?

Ask that there be no cleaning products containing this chemical ... used around people with kidney concerns
Consider glyconutrient food supplements and foods such as the Acia berry and the Alaska Blueberries and fried mushrooms ... natural foods that can have glyconutrients. Learn about glyconutrient food supplements. I learned a lot from a book by Jordan Rubin: Patient, Heal Thyself
You are looking for things that may help the immune system stop being autoimmune. Many things are autoimmune.
Kidney failure must be a painful, miserable situation to be dealing with.
I think many baby boomers can have effects of this chemical from parents who were poisoned by it in the 30's and 40's during war time for soldiers and in the manufacturing and cleaning of things we used from then to now.

I wonder whether somewhere BEFORE kidney failure ... is Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFS or FM for subsets)? I think this chemical causes that. The Fatigue of autoimmune Hemolytic anemia hides out and is not found. I think it is an autoimmune red blood cell issue ... And wonder whether an elevated RDW would be a clue, along with blood in urine.
Research says 2-butoxyethanol causes hemolytic anemia
and tumors ... kidney failure ... liver failure ...
and many more issues
AIHA or IMHA must be the fatigue that is evading medical science for many
decades. If doctors LOOK at the red blood cells, I think they would find
more info ... their membranes, their size, their shape? any 'bites' out of
them? any spikes?
What is your RDW? www.valdezlink.com/pages/rdw.htm#may Would an elevated RDW show up the 'hiding out' hemolytic anemia?
*2-butoxyethanol* <http://www.valdezlink.com/evos/afteroil.htm> - Workers of Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup were exposed to this chemical, and that is why I looked into it in the first place. Finding out what happened to them, and comparing to the 'gulf war syndrome' vets and the Vietnam Vets and the WWII vets may find that it has been 2-butoxyethanol all along that caused the main harm to our soldiers and our civilians with CFIDS, CFS, FM
I think it must also cause autoimmune hypothalamus ... and that is the reason
for abnormal blood pressure, blood sugar, body temp.
What is your temperature? (Track it over time)
It also causes autoimmune issues like lungs filling up with fluid. . .
degenerative, bulging disks
